Giles Mitchell's Dimension Theatre Presents

Cracks in a City

The snake comes to the surface Like coalminers we climb its coils The underground drags us day into night, night into day We dig into its depths Finding the cracks in our bodies The cracks in our souls Fantasy on the walls Truth in the piss on the floors We are drugged by the dropping of coins into machines We are drugged by the repetitive warning voices in the lift We are drugged by the screams of trains And the doors being ripped open and closed As the underground digs its hypodermic into our veins

There will be an interval of 15 minutes.

The cast of Cracks in a City, created by Giles Mitchell, Roundhouse, 1976
